Hopefully I'll know tonight if I can work something out. I'm fortunate that I work for an airline. I fly standby and can change my flight reservations at the last minute. All I have to worry about is whether there are some empty seats available on the flights.
As I mentioned before, I think it's too late to change my vacation. I have to see if I can get someone to cover for me for 2 days. I worked Christmas eve for a guy who has a couple of kids and I did the same with Christmas day. I also offered to work for a guy who was stuck in Washington last week during the storm, but luckily he was able to work something out. Bottom line is I'm going to try and call in some favors. I'd like to get a 3rd day off for insurance, but that would be saturday and that might be tough. As far as the hotel, I was waiting to see where the autograph session was going to take place before I booked one. I wanted to get one as close as possible, so in case the impossible happens, I wont have to lug a bunch of cds all over Paris. If I can get those days off, then I will look at hotels after. |

For that Scruffy would have to get addresses from everyone before leaving for France and then spend one or two days just running around post offices. Why would you want to spend time of your vacation for mailing CDs?

Well in the letter the mods are working on, we mentioned the private autograph session that happened last time, but we are asking them for suggestions on how we can get this done. I think FNAC is more into the mail order business than VMS was so it's very possible they might suggest mailing them for a certain fee, plus shipping. However I tried ordering something from them recently and they wouldn't ship it to the U.S., so I'm more inclined to think it be easier for them if we just picked them up. Besides if I pick them up, their liability pretty much ends when I walk out the door.
I talked to my supervisor about switching my vacation to the next week and he's okay with it. I still have to clear it with the union steward, but he's usually an easier sell than the supervisor so I think it's a done deal. I'll know in a few hours. EDIT: It's a done deal. Paris in the spring!!!!! Last edited by Scruffydog777; 03-13-2013 at 03:50 PM.. |

Looking forward to see you there, Dave as well as our other fellow Alizee fans. I'd be more than happy to help you carrying those CDs back here. BTW, did you register for that show? The one before the autograph session? I submitted my name anyways - I doubt I'd get it but, you never know. It's worth trying! I hope she gives us a VIP session again. But, for me just to see her for the very first time is well worth it! |

congratulations!
What is it about this private signing you want to do guys? I know it worked last time but will it work this time too? Because I highly doubt that they will be too happy when you show up during the "public" autograph session with dozens of CDs... but I still hope it will work out for you!
